I'm still stunned at how delicious they were. I had the Smokey shrimp as well as the shrimp and bacon tacos on corn tortilla and they were just incredible. I'm not certain, but I the corn tortillas tasted home made. Highly recommended - and I don't even particularly like shrimp! Can't wait to go back for more of these tacos and to try the asada. Also, their verde crema salsa is fantastic! As fast as as ambiance, it's small, but clean with a nice little salsa bar!

I ordered the chicken salad from this location via Farmhouse. The chicken salad is described as "A…read moreperfect balance of smoky chicken, creamy mayo, tangy lemon, and a touch of jalapeno spice makes this an ideal companion to crackers, sandwich bread, and tortilla chips alike. Three-Six General sources from small farmers and ranchers across Texas. Their meats are always 100% pasture-raised and free from any hormones or antibiotics. " - Farmhouse This chicken salad is absolutely divine. It has simple elements and no unnecessary additives. The only thing that can be tasted in this chicken salad is a bit of mayo, red onion, lemon juice, and jalapeño. It requires no "extra" seasonings. I am not a big fan of mayo, but for those who are, they will find this salad is light on the mayo. I did add EVOO to the mix to spread the chicken salad across sourdough bread. Outside of this chicken salad, I've purchased various cuts of meat and cheese from this shop. Each item I've purchased here seems to be better than the next. #supportlocal

I hesitate with this review, because then you'll know. You'll know what I know; one of our…read morefavorites in San Marcos. You'll experience the inviting ambience we've enjoyed the minute you step along the courtyard then encounter welcoming and accommodating hostesses. You'll discover the same unique, rich, warm interior we discovered; an elegance to be appreciated, which bows to unpretentious Texas hospitality. You'll again be greeted by a helpful, charming, engaging waitperson. Our latest waitperson was Sami, a delightful young lady who tended to us as if we were her only table. You'll discover a menu with great selections with Chef Monty's personal flair and reasonably priced. If he can free himself, you'll most likely meet Monty, both owner and chef. It's hard to imagine a nicer guy unless it's Kyle, the manager! Palmer's atmosphere is suitable for casual conversation over a meal, for Sunday brunch, an anniversary, or a romantic date night. One of our favorite activities is evenings in the courtyard with wine and appetizers. Also, it's difficult to resist their desserts, by the way! Reservations are accepted on a limited basis, but "call ahead" is always available. There, I've said it. Against my better judgement, you now what I you know. The rest is up to you.

I came here for my graduation dinner, and overall the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, though I do…read moreagree with my family that the lighting was much too dark. The food portions were surprisingly small for the price -- honestly small enough for a toddler. However, i prefer the Graduate plate and I will say the mashed potatoes were incredible and probably the best I've had anywhere but the pot chop tasted like turkey and had no flavor. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. Our waiter never really welcomed us or made us feel appreciated as guests, especially for such an important occasion with a party of 13. As the graduate and guest of honor, I felt completely ignored the entire night, which especially upset my mother. He mainly interacted with only one family member the entire evening and came across as cold and uninterested. I understand he may have had a broken wrist or was having a difficult day, but it still felt disrespectful and lacking basic hospitality. I might consider returning someday to try the regular menu instead of the preset graduation menu, but I definitely would not want the same waiter again.

My goodness, the 'beef' gravy tasted like flavored cornstarch, and the cheese curds, well they were melted, hard to find and no well-known 'squeak'. I have had poutine across the US, and Canada, and this is by far the worst tasting, not even close, poutine ever. It was really bad. So disappointed. I then decided to go with the blackened chicken spinach wrap that was very dry chopped chicken with no flavor whatsoever. The chips that came with it tasted weird. If my friend did not insist on paying the bill, I would've sent the food back. The place was busy and probably a hang out for some that may have been there tubing in the river and needed someplace close to eat, or definitely do not know what good food is. Our server didn't seem to know what he was really doing. Definitely will not be going back as this seasoned cook, and retired very successful chef, would not recommend this place if you want good food.
